Happy 130th birthday to the @nationaltrust.bsky.social. It's been a pleasure managing its houses and collections, and curating places in its care, for just under a tenth of that time. 🎂 🏡 🏰 🌿 🖼 📚 🪑 🏅

To have ended 2024 as a #1 Best Seller in 'World War II History' is more than I could ever have dreamt of. I'm truly fortunate that so many wonderful people supported and encouraged me last year. I couldn't have done it without you all, and am thankful from the bottom of my heart.

I've been told by so many people that they're giving 'Churchill's Citadel' to loved ones this Christmas. For everyone for whom it is waiting patiently under a tree, I hope you love it, and the stories of #Churchill's home in the 1930s, as much as I loved writing it. 🎄🎁📔✌️

We lost my grandma 11 years ago today - Seen here in the middle of the top row, as a proud #WAAF, towards the end of #WW2. She was fearless, flirtatious, fabulous, fun, fiercely intelligent ... and my absolute hero.

Happy 150th birthday to Winston Churchill, who fought for the defence of freedom and the defeat of tyranny. I love this never-before-seen photo of him, that I found at the Churchill Archive Centre when researching 'Churchill's Citadel', broadcasting a speech to the US just 4 weeks before #WW2.🎙✌️

Just when I thought the team at Chartwell were brilliant enough, they then go and put quotes, by the Churchill family, about Christmas, on ribbons that adorn the trees. 🎄 This one is about where they hung the mistletoe. Absolute festive perfection. 👌
